Meet Yoko, one of Pickleball Whitsundays passionate players who is on-court most Thursday afternoons.
Yoko has been at Pickleball since day one in our region and is always keen to lend a hand to new players as well as playing gutsy Pickleball herself.
Yoko has a tip for newcomers on what not to do in pickleball: do not miss your serve!
Unlike in tennis, there are no second chances or faults in Pickleball, and you can only score in Pickleball when you are serving.
So, it makes sense to develop a consistent reliable serve, rather than trying to absolutely smash it across the court.
Nobody has ever won a Pickleball point by serving insanely and hitting a rocket serve into the net!
She’s one of the faces you can meet at Pickleball Whitsundays on Thursday afternoons and Saturdays.
This Saturday morning past was a bumper for the sport, with even a down pour of rain not stop deterring the persistent pickleballers.
Those out making some noise with their paddles were Carol and Stewart and Frank and Kirsty, to name a few.
Till next week "Paddles Up" for 4.30pm Thursday Afternoon and 7am Saturday Morning.
